ECU Athletic Director Terry Holland said he would prefer to hire someone with head coaching experience, at either the division I-A or division I-AA level. A telephone message left Monday for Holland was not immediately returned.

Foster, one of the nation's top defensive coordinators, has been in the mix for openings in the past but has never been a head coach. He has often said he is happy in Blacksburg and would only want to leave for the right job. And with a nice financial package in place to keep him at Virginia Tech, it would seem that leaving now would be even harder.
